Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made seven changes to the starting line-up for the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium tonight.

The Gunners have a four-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the standings and can make it seven with a victory tonight.

Ahead of the game, only four players keep their places from the FA Cup fourth round win over Wigan Athletic at home.

David Raya replaces Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal as expected.

Only William Saliba keeps his place in defence from last weekend. Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly are replaced by Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie in the full-back positions. Gabriel Magalhaes will partner Saliba in central defence, while Cristhian Mosquera drops out.

Christian Norgaard and Eberechi Eze also drop to the bench as Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice are reinstated in the centre of the park. Bukayo Saka continues as an attacking midfielder for the Gunners.

In the final third, Noni Madueke starts on the right wing again with Gabriel Martinelli likewise keeping his place on the left wing. Viktor Gyokeres replaces Gabriel Jesus as the main man upfront tonight.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Wolves: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Saka, Martinelli; Gyokeres.
